Two-time losers to Lewiston, Wenatchee solved the Bronc rid dle, 11-1, to sit alone at the top while Salem edged Tri-City, 10 9, in a casualty marred affair. Pitcher Don Orwieler's one-hit effort and Herm Lewis' two dou bles and a triple lifted the cellar Bears to dizzying heights, their third win in second-half action against eight defeats. Lost Hat Trick The Broncs lost their hat trick against Don Bailey's six-hit pitching. Wenatchee boosted its record to 9-2 as Bailey struck out eight and walked nary a man. It was his fourth win against two losses. Rogello Alvarez and Don Lundberg. who had a perfect 4-4 night at the plate, homered for the Chiefs. A youngster fell off the score board in the fifth inning down at Salem to hold up the game for 10 muiutes. Later, Umpire Tony Ahumada collapsed, but returned to finish calling the ;' game. And finally, Tri-City's Lou Hague knocked himself cold . as he ran into a fence in quest of a ball. Salem sewed it up In the bot tom of the ninth when Larry Segovia hit a double against the left centerfield fence to .score Terry Maddox.

NLRB Slates Hearing In Portland Tuesday Portland IP The National Labor Relations Board has scheduled a hearing here next Tuesday to probe NLRB charges that a contract between Asso ciated General Contractors and the Teamsters Union violates the Taft-Hartley act. The hearing could result In voiding of a pact vhich governs relations between several local contractors and hundreds of Teamsters, officials said. Thomas P. Graham, regional NLRB director, complained that the contract gives the union power to determine eligibility of job applicants. The hearing was set after charges were made that a driver was denied a job on the Swift dam project near Criu gar. Wash., because he was not a member of a certain iocal. Argentine Actor To Marry Lilli Palmer Rome P Argentine movie actor Carlos Thompson will marry Hollywood actress Lilli Palmer as soon as he completes the film he is making in Italy, a spokesman for the actor said Thursday. Miss Palmer is the former wife of Rex Harrison. ond and third place teams col liding and two other aggrega tions trying to bust a deadlock. The schedule is Medford Che ney Studs at Grants Pass, Cave Junction at Glefidale and Camp White versus Ashland-Talent at Ashland. Medford goes Into the second half of the schedule the unbeat en leader while Grants Pass brings up the rear with only one victory. The hard-swatting Studs whipped Grants Pass 17 to 10 in the previous outing" with the Merchants coming back strong after Medford took an 11 to 0 lead. GP will try for a better start this time. Out of league action since June 26,. the Studs are expected to be toughed by seven conflicts against strong opposition from outside the circuit. , One Game Behind Jerry Bartow is the probable Medford pitcher while Merchant chucker likely will be chosen from among Larry Cochell, Jim Smith and Don Jacobson. Cave Junction, like the Studs, a heavy hitting crew, is rated as having tthe best chance of catch ing the Medford nine, being only one game behind. But the Out laws could run into trouble against third-place G 1 e n d a 1 e which looms stronger after a slow start. Cave Junction was hard put to get its earlier 10 to 9 nod over the Loggers. The Camp White-Talent ruck us is still listed a toss-up despite the 6 to 0 win by the Whiters last Wednesday in the circuit. Gene Parent probably will be on the hill for Talent with the Veterans Administration domi ciliary ' thrower to be picked from among Jim Kelly, Don Sanford, Frad Herrmann and Bill Seymour. The tie at fourth among Camp White. Talent and Butte Falls is certain to be broken since Butte Falls has a bye while the other two are battling. WELL, IT FIGURES Orangeburg, S C.

W Doug Ford of Mahopac, N.Y., who ad mits he's "playing like gang busters now," shared the lead with two tall Texans today as the field teed off for the third round of the Canadian Open golf championship. Ford, Freddie Hawkins of El Paso, Tex., and Henry Ransom, a Texas cattle rancher playing out of St. Louis, Mo., reached the halfway mark of the 72-hole tournament Thursday with ag gregate scores of 136. Just a stroke off the pace with 137,5 were Ed (Porky) Oliver, Pat Schwab, Bill Casper Jr., Bo Wininger, and Gay Brewer Jr., who moved up among the lead ers Thursday with a six-under-par 65 following a first round 72. Grouped at 138, two shots back, were giant George Bayer, little-known John Knight and Moe Norman, the local hero who won the Canadian amateur championship twice before being suspended by the Royal Cana dian Golf association last winter for financial irregularities. Utility Property Tax In County Unchanged New Jersey Parkway Ups Safety Record Red Bank, N.J. IIP) The New Jersey Highway authority re ported today that the Garden State parkway, the nation's saf est super-highway in 1955 and 1956, was even safer during the first half of 1957. The authority said that in the six-month period ended June 30 there were three pedestrian deaths and only two motorist fa talities on the parkway, despite a four million vehicle increase in traffic volume. During the first half of 1956. there were seven traffic fatali ties for a traffic volume of 21 million vehicles. Salem The state tax com mission's recently approved policy of gradual reduction in utility property taxes will result in no change for assessments in Jackson rountv this vear com pared to last year. I Jackson county is among five i counties in Oregon in which the ;new policy will result in no im ! mediate change. The 1957 as signed utility ratio here is 36 'per cent, the same as in 1956. I County posted ratio in 1956 re jmains at 30 per cent, the same jas last year. Other counties in j which no change will be evident this year are Clatsop, Klamath, Polk and Union. The commission has been at tempting for some time to bring utility property assessments in line with assessments for other types of property. Previous Policy Previous commission policy would have brought about full equalization in a single step this year, the commission said. But a substitute plan, embodied in House Joint Resolution 44, was proposed and approved by the House. In the closing days of the session, the proposal failed to clear the Senate, but since that time approval of the policy contained in the resolution has been obtained from those in a position to advise the commis sion, it said. The basic purpose of the new plan is to slow the reductions so a minimum of "unanticipated economic hardships' will result. There is no contention that the equalization should not be made, it was explained, but the com mission feels it should be con ducted over a longer period of time to allow a minimum dis ruption of the taxing processes. To carry out this policy, the commission this year made ad justments in the relationship of each of the counties so they will be the same amount out of line with locally-assessed property. In subsequent years, the plan is to reduce the ratios by a definite amount each year. Assigned Ratio This year the ratios are ap proximately 120 per cent of the ratios posted by assessors and used on locally-assessed prop erty. This means utilities will pay 20 per cent more than other classes of property. Each year, hereafter, the assigned ratio will be reduced by 5 per cent so next year the calculation will be on the basis of 115 per cent of the posted ratio, unless there are other factors affecting the figure. Statewide, the ratios show a general reduction of about 5 per cent less than last year, the com mission pointed out. However, not all counties were reduced. Eleven were increased from 1 to 3 ratio points. Twenty showed decreases ranging from 9 points in Gilliam county, 6 points in Jefferson county, 5 points in Baker county, down to a 1 point drop for several other counties. Among owners of Jackson county property classified as utility are California-Oregon Power company. Pacific Tele phone and Telegraph company, Southern Pacific, Columbia Utility .company, and several others. The first bananas to arrive in New York were included in a shipment arriving from Cuba in 1804. r"rlday. July 12, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE Montana Lake Searched (or Pilot Dillon, Mont. W A sheriff's party and a diving crew climbed to a small lake 9,000 feet up in the rugged Sawtooth area today to search for the body of a missing pilot. Deputies who returned from the area late Thursday night re ported finding airplane wreck age, a bloody helmet and frag ments of the jawbone and teeth believed to be that of Jim Leon-! ard, about 50, Chico, Calif. ! They believe the body was In ' the lake with the remainder of the wreckage. Leonard, a World War II Navy flier, was reported over- j due in the converted Navy Pri- j vateer Thursday morning. He j was employed as a spray pilot for the California Heckathorn ! Flying Service, which had a con- tract to spray for spruce bud-' worm in the rugged Southwest-, ern Montana area. I The wreckage was spotted I Thursday and the nine - man search crew was sent into the area in hopes that Leonard might have survived. But they reported the plane . apparently crashed and explod- ed against a granite outcropping ; near the 11,000 foot Sawtooth ! Mountain, which looms 2,000 feet above the lake. I News Vendor Wins Right To Own Corner Portland IW News vendor Max Stone won a victory over big business here Thursday when the Portland city council abandoned other matters and took up the question of Stone's right to sell newspapers at the corner he has called his own for 37 years. Max took his fight for the cor ner to the council after the Rich Cigar Store, Inc., which also sells newspapers, announced it was moving its business near Max's corner. The council listened to attor neys and labor leaders for two hours before agreeing to let Max stay on his corner with a city license provided he works out a mutually satisfactory agreement with his new neigh bors who sought to have him evicted from his spot of sidewalk. The domestic reindeer was In troduced into North America from Siberia, by way ot Alaska, in 1891.
